Important instructions
· SPOT must have unobstructed access to the sky to receive a GPS signal and get the most accurate location information
· SPOT does not work reliably in buildings, caves or very dense forests
· Hold the SPOT with the SPOT logo pointing up, towards the sky. This improves performance as the antenna is directly under the logo
· Keep at least 30 cm away from other GPS devices to prevent the SPOT from receiving signals from these devices
· A service subscription is required
